Spring 2014 Colors

New York Fashion Week is over, and there are trends that are beginning to define the upcoming ready-to-wear season. When it comes to what shades will be on the cutting edge, the combination of black and white is proving its staying power, while icy pastels and hints of pink are getting into the mix. I'm personally loving these new colors. It was about time for winter to be over! On with the pretty colors!

MoMA New York

New York is a universe of art, opportunities, and unforgettable experiences. On my last visit to NYC I went to MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art. It was the most exhilarating experience of my life. I could be there for ours and ours and never get tired. It inspires any artist to keep creating.

"The Museum of Modern Art is a place that fuels creativity, ignites minds, and provides inspiration. With extraordinary exhibitions and the world's finest collection of modern and contemporary art, MoMA is dedicated to the conversation between the past and the present, the established and the experimental. Our mission is helping you understand and enjoy the art of our time."

Some of the artwork from famous artists:

 Gold Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol

 These are five different pieces of Pabli Picasso
 Starry Night by Vangoh
 Fulang-chang and I by Frida Kahlo
 Bicycle Wheel (3rd version) by Marcel Duchamp

The Art of Juan Salgado

 The best tattoo artist in Puerto Rico is known to be Juan Salgado, he has marked various famous people, one of them was the puerto rican boxer Miguel Cotto. Even as a child, Juan Salgado has always had an interest in art. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on January 21, 1982 and introduced to the discipline by his older brother Miguel Salgado, he has always managed to capture life in the most interesting ways. At times his schoolbooks were innocent victims of his hand "I drew everywhere including all my school textbooks". After years of a traditional school environment, he enrolled in Escuela Central de Artes Visuales, a change that would strongly influence his career. In this environment he was introduced to different mediums and the history behind them. He learned the basics and started to hone his craft.
 He is truly an amazing tattoo artist and muralist. He recently had a art show in the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico.

CHANEL Haute Couture Spring Summer 2014 Paris Fashion Week

 The set of a Chanel show is the gold standard of fashion excess: icebergs, forests, the world after the world has ended…nothing is too much for Karl Lagerfeld. The set for this couture presentation gave nothing away—an enormous glistening white tube loomed center stage, so blank that its only possible promise was revolution. And revolve it duly did. When it revolved, it revealed shaggy French pop star Sébastien Tellier, his orchestra, and two giant sweeping staircases fresh out of an Art Deco fantasia from the Hollywood thirties. No, Lagerfeld corrected, "It's an ice palace, a nightclub on another planet." 

 He had couture stairs and had his models sprint down them, as light as fairies, skipping and spinning. It was an adorable mockery to the notion of classic heritage.

 The clothing was a corseted midriff (or crop top) and a short skirt for the collection's defining look. It was energetic, athletic, and it was really the only thing that could successfully match the footwear. Every outfit featured a couture sneaker by Massaro: python, with lace, pearls, and tweed.  (The price tag will probably be something in the vicinity of €3,000.)

 We can already see artists trying out this look. The singer Rihanna wore the same outfit and matched it with the shoes from Chanel.
